598 Manipulator (5)

An indestructible shield was pretty nice, but it wasn't a perfect defense, shields could be ignored after all, and area of effect attacks existed. Billy made a round one easy to carry on the back since no one in his group had used one. However, he will have to come up with some way to keep it and maintain it hidden from Icarus, Lucyna and Meryl since they could use Analysis and Appraisal. It was a massive pain in the ass, but it couldn't be helped. Perhaps putting on the back of his armor would do it...

"The best defense is a dropkick in the neck, and the fast you can do it, the more chances it will work, I suppose," Billy thought.

Billy walked around the capital with his shield hidden to test it. When he saw some troublemakers in a tavern, he used the shield to make them feel sad. Instead of picking a fight, they suddenly began to cry and apologize to each other. That had been pretty fun.
